Therapy - Okay

I used to be okay.

Or well, more like I was better at faking it.

Pretending it wasn’t there to live a normal-ish life.

I was able to fool my parents and other family members,

friends, and best friends.

For a time

I was able to fool myself.

Then I realized all too late

that I was drowning

and I had no idea

how to get help.

They never told me how to get help.

So here I sit

feeling like I am pretending to be alive

and the only person that notices the forced smiles

are the random kids in my class.

So they ask me if “I am okay?”

And I look Caden in the eyes

and say “I am fine” or “I am just tired.”

But we both knew it was a lie.

But he never said anything

he just made sure I was all right.
